Our Verdict
When comparing starfruit to strawberries, we picked the strawberries.
Why?
In terms of macros, starfruit has slightly more fiber while strawberries have slightly more carbs; the differences are very small (less than 1g/100g in each direction in each case) so this can be called either a tie, or the slenderest of nominal wins to starfruit in this category.
In the category of vitamins, starfruit has more of vitamins A and B5 (so, the vitamins it’s hardest to be deficient in while not starving to death), while strawberries have more of vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, B9, C, E, and K, winning easily by a long way.
Looking at minerals, starfruit has more copper and selenium, while strawberries have more calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc, winning convincingly again.
In other considerations, strawberries are also higher in polyphenols (greater total and greater diversity) so that’s another round in strawberries’ favor.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for strawberries, but by all means do enjoy either or both, as diversity is best!
